Our 63 SWC ZR1 LS9

Hello New to posting on your site.

Great info and knowledge. Just completed a 64 Coup LS3 swap and found so much good info on the site. Thanks to ALL!

Thought you'd enjoy our new Ride, I didn't build it. Our very good friend Rod & Tina Saboury designed the car and had it built a few years ago.

Hope you enjoy...

Rod has been building incredible Corvettes for years. I have seen your car in person. It is nothing short of amazing. Enjoy it!

Rod had the Gage cluster rebuilt by Rick's Restoration Services in MD (410) 538-4528 most of the gages were converted from mechanical to work with the modern motor. The faces were updated and the red paint was matched to the car's color...thought you'd like a close up!
